Jake Elmore went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored in Sunday's lopsided win over the Brewers.

Elmore capped the Sox's 16-run afternoon with an RBI single in the eighth inning. It wasn't consequential for the game, but it all helps Elmore's case as he tries to earn a roster spot with the Sox. The 30-year-old has eight hits in 15 Cactus League at-bats with a few days left to go before rosters are set. Mar 25 - 7:16 PM

White Sox signed INF/OF Jake Elmore to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Elmore played the entire 2017 season in the minor leagues, slashing just .236/.324/.281 in 416 plate appearances between the Triple-A affiliates of the Blue Jays and Marlins. The 30-year-old utilityman is doubtful to make a significant impact at the major league level with Chicago. Feb 8 - 12:32 PM

Elmore was batting just .231/.321/.273 through 357 plate appearances this season at Triple-A Buffalo. He has already appeared in six games for the Marlins' Triple-A club in New Orleans. Wed, Aug 23, 2017 10:54:00 AM

Major League Baseball suspended C Welington Castillo for 80 games for performance-enhancing drug use.

Castillo was popped for taking the hormone Erythropoietin, a popular PED in the cycling world. He'll be out until late August and will not be eligible to participate in the 2018 postseason, not that that matters for any White Sox player this year. The 31-year-old catching was slashing .267/.309/466 with six home runs and 15 RBI through 33 games for Chicago. Omar Narvaez will presumably see the large share of the starts behind the plate moving forward. He carries no mixed-league fantasy upside.

White Sox placed OF Leury Garcia on the 10-day disabled list with a left knee sprain.

Garcia suffered the injury on Wednesday night against the Orioles and could be out a while. The 27-year-old outfielder had two home runs and nine stolen bases through 39 games this season with the White Sox.

Matt Davidson (back) is not in the starting lineup against the Orioles on Thursday.

Davidson was a late scratch yesterday because of stiffness in his back, and he's not ready to make a return on Thursday. In his place, Jose Rondon will once again be the designated hitter and will hit fifth. For the year, Davidson has an .890 OPS with 11 homers and 29 RBI over 42 games.

Carlos Rodon (shoulder) will make a rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Charlotte.

Rodon will be making his second rehab start of the year, and is coming off a start where he threw five innings and struck out six while allowing just one run on Saturday for Low-A Kannapolis. Assuming everything goes well and there are no setbacks, he should have a chance to rejoin the rotation in the beginning of June.

Gonzalez was placed on the 10-day disabled list on April 23, but recently had a setback and had to have a PRP injection into his shoulder in the middle of May. The move cleared a spot on the 40-man roster for the White Sox to claim Dustin Garneau off waivers from Oakland. We won't see Gonzalez back until after the All-Star break, at the earliest.

Danny Farquhar was discharged from RUSH University Medical Center on Monday and is resting at home with his family.

Fantastic news. Farquhar suffered a brain hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm while in the White Sox' dugout during an April 20 game. His neurosurgeon, Dr. Demetrius Lopes, will not medical clear Farquhar to pitch in 2018 so his brain hemorrhage can fully heal, but he does expect the reliever to be able to pitch again in the future.
